If you are swapping a standard after market radio, it should work.
 
Swapped the working thermostat for the broken one, not sure why i kept it, but it's solved my over pressuring problem. No more exhaust gases in the coolant, but engine only gets up to 65c

Read the manual yet?! Speaker connection? Fuse? Output screw of some sort?
 
Drove it to work, i knew it would be running cool but didn't realise just how cool it would get! At 50mph engine temp didn't get above 52c and up to 58c in stationary traffic
That can't be healthy for an engine. But it's knackered anyways i suppose
It was like being back in my 2a with no heater!! At least the heated seat worked haha

Have you fitted the thermostat from a model T Ford? :D:D
 
I refitted the old one that has a hole drilled in it so it's always slightly 'open'
But at least i don't get exhaust gases in the coolant anymore so that's some kind of progress
Not done anything good to the mpg though
 
Dropped of the old lady at JLR today (the only garage willing to touch her, go figure).

Positive surprises:

They are willing to replace the front propshaft with the one I bought (the bolts are just impossible to remove, so...).

They seemed happy to be able to work on an old one, also the oil leaks are perfectly ok including the oil cooler one which doesn't to be too bad after all. With one exception which brings us to...

Bad surprises:

The rear axle is leaking on the brake disc due to a bad gasket.

The fuel tank is rusted through.

The brakes are loosing brake fluid.

The shocks are shot (but I already knew that).

So, all of the bad surprises have to be done now and cannot be done on my drive ay, at least not by me. Shock and springs can wait, but the rest...

Neutral news: Costs excluding the tank issue and including an new Jag XE for the time being will by around 900 Euro, rather reasonable considering a free garage fleeced my parents for 750 for two springs and the TÜV last week. At least it helps telling me that...
